to be excellent alternatives to whole-cell biosensors, particularly for rapid detection
and on-site application, though their analytical performances are up-to-now not as
sensitive as whole-cell biosensors. Despite this, the selection of reporters needs to
be a balanced compromise with other important factors, including the cost of the
assay and ease of use, especially for point of care and point of need applications.
